I'm not really sure why you are having difficulty applying the same international standards to your own country. Currently your country is talking about banning Russia from the G8 and imposing sanctions, but these same standards are never applied to your country, when logic would dictate that they should be.

It is these kinds of double standards that bother people. Iraq should never have been under sanctions as logic would dictate that America should have already been sanctioned. Oh, but 'Saddam had to go'. Well, most would say the same about the Western puppets too. Where is their justice? It's not conspiracy to say that there are double standards.
